Ms. Norris was able to drive herself to the hospital were she experienced a brief series of contractions but did not go into labor. Mr. Dow later that day turned himself into police.
The town of Hancock, Maine, held a anti-hate rally and baby shower for Ms. Norris and her unborn baby. Around 200 people, mostly white people, attended the event, sponcered by the Bangor chapter of the NAACP.
Mr. Dow has been formally charged with assualt, disorderly conduct, and with violating the Maine Civil Rights Act and has been served.
